Court filing: Manafort says any misstatements 'unintentional'

Any "misstatements" made by U.S. President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort during his cooperation with federal prosecutors were "unintentional" and he would not seek a hearing to contest the allegation he lied, Manafort's lawyers said in a court filing on Tuesday.

Manafort was responding to allegations in December by the U.S. special counsel investigating whether Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia that Manafort had told "multiple discernible lies" to investigators, breaking a plea agreement struck in September.
